2. 168 Oriental Supermarket

3 Summerland St, Exeter EX1 2AT

This supermarket plays host to a number of Asian cuisines.

One student gave us the lowdown on why she shops here:

Usually I go there to buy Chinese food such as noodles, because it’s convenient to buy here rather than shipping it from Hong Kong. It is relatively cheaper than other shops too. It’s ran by people from Hong Kong and I come from there so it’s really nice for me. They sell seasoning, spices, sauces and even fresh Chinese vegetables.

Or as the locals call it ‘one-stop oriental market’. BHL offers a range of Asian foods such as dumplings, buns, kimchi, sushi rice and Chinese sausages – as well as a variety of bubble teas to quench your thirst!

Tanaporn Vicyanon from Thailand said:

In Thailand bubble tea is really popular but I find it hard to find over here. They sell them in Asian stores so that’s why I went there
